Olakunle Samuel in a nutshell
I like to structure each lesson into three sections:
1. The rudiments or fundamentals. This would include the theory, technique, posture, and even some history, etc. where appropriate. This section is important as it lays a strong foundation for personal expression and creativity.

I like to structure each lesson into three sections:
1. The rudiments or fundamentals. This would include the theory, technique, posture, and even some history, etc. where appropriate. This section is important as it lays a strong foundation for personal expression and creativity.
2. Music appreciation: In this section, we learn the music of others. We learn a new song or perfect a previous one and try to understand and analyze the song. This section is important for the development of a musical mind. It is important to understand what works, why they work, and in what genre of music they work.
3. Music application: In this section, the student uses the knowledge gained from sections 1 and 2 to create music. This section is so important as it guides and sharpens the student's inner creativity.
In general, lessons are student-centered and activity-based. I take into consideration your current technical level, music preferences, musical goals, etc. in creating a personalized music lesson.

Some of the lessons taught include sight reading, reading chord charts, ear training, composition, chords, pedaling, chord extensions, rhythm, comping, playing by ear, playing in all keys, accompanying a singer, improvisation, jazz improvisation, reharmonization, extensions, stride piano, playing different genres.

I teach classical, jazz, rock, blues, pop, gospels, country, reggae, etc.

I also teach keyboard and sound design techniques to those who want to delve into the world of synthesizers and EDM. Techniques like layering, splits, EQing, compression, side chain compression, filters, routing, FM synthesis, effect processing, etc.
